History WMG / GameOfThronesUnconfirmed

However, Rattleshirt [[spoiler: will refuse Tormund's terms, and be captured in a second battle later. This will earn him a visit to the pyre, sparing us the ADWD Rattleshirt/Mance glamor switcheroo nonsense.]]

[[WMG: Either Grey Worm or Missandei is going to die]]
There's been a lot of emphasis on their romance, which is not present in the books. While it's very sweet, the show rarely does sweet just for the sake of it. They're making the characters sympathetic before one of them dies.
* Plus, there are a number of characters who are not present in the show that die in the books. Either Grey Worm or Missanei's death will replace one of theirs.

[[WMG: In the long run, the Starks are actually in a better position than the other houses.]]
[[spoiler: Season Six's ending shook this whole WMG up - detailed in spoilers below.]]
Although they're decimated and scattered across the Westeros, its not completely out of the question for them to be able to make a comeback. Compare with the other major houses:
* Lannisters: As of Season 4 they're going broke, Tywin isn't exactly getting any younger, his eldest son can't legally inherit his titles, he refuses to name his only other son as his heir ([[spoiler: and given Tyrion's arrest, its quite unlikely Tywin will ever change his mind]][[spoiler: also Tywin is dead]]), and Cersei isn't exactly the best candidate to bring the house back to its former glory.
** [[spoiler: Three Lannisters left. One is (likely) mad, one is unable to take the throne, and the third is a wanted convict and allied with another house. It doesn't look pretty.]]
* Tyrells: Their only male heir is gay and less likely to father any children, but of course averted if Loras decides to take one for the team.
** [[spoiler:Appears to be confirmed, now that all Tyrell heirs are dead.]]
** [[spoiler:Cemented as of [[Recap/GameOfThronesS7E3TheQueensJustice S7E3]]; with Lady Olenna dead, the Tyrells are effectively extinct.]]
* Baratheon: Stannis' wife is unable to give him any sons, and his only daughter is an IllGirl.
** [[spoiler: With Stannis and his daughter dead, the only Barratheons left are bastards, aren't they?]]
*** [[spoiler: That's confirmed. And considering set photos from season 7 are showing Gendry dressed up like a Lord, it seems a safe bet that Davos brings him back to Dragonstone to take over leadership of the house. Possibly with Dany's consent.]]
* Targaryen: Daenerys doesn't currently have any heirs, and in the books its implied that she's infertile.
** [[spoiler: If it's later revealed and proven that Lyanna went with Rhaegar willingly and they married, then Jon is Dany's legitimate nephew, and the legitimate direct male heir of the Mad King. With his obvious brotherly love toward Sansa, Arya and Bran, then the Starks do end up in a very strong position indeed, as well as all of the Northerners that proclaimed their loyalty to Jon.]]
* Bolton: [[spoiler: House appears to be exterminated now, unless the Ramsey Bastard has a Bastard.]]
* Frey: [[spoiler: House appears to be exterminated. Walder Frey is certainly dead, and leaks suggest Arya (using his face) arranges a banquet at which the other heirs (and anyone else with a hand in the Red Wedding) die.]]
** [[spoiler:Confirmed in the very first scene of [[Recap/GameOfThronesS7E1Dragonstone S7's opening]], where all the Frey males are poisoned by Arya.]]
On the other hand, the Starks still have two male heirs in the line of succession, with at least Rickon being capable of fathering another heir later on down the road. Additionally, the Starks were very much well liked by their allies right up until their downfall, all of whom would happily aid any of the surviving Stark children.
** [[spoiler: Mostly confirmed, with the exception of Rickon. The two remaining Starks (aside from Bran, whose ability to produce heirs is doubtful, given his paralysis) are female, Jon is apparently taking the title King in the North under the surname Snow, but may later be publicly revealed to be a Targaryen.]]

Summer fell in a trap. It only makes sense that Ghost fell in another, or even the same one, in the first place.

Who built that trap? Craster. He lives in the asscrack of the world and needs every pelt and bit of meat he can get his hands on, moreso in winter. It also provides defense against predators (like direwolves) or even other wildlings that might smell his tasty pork getting fried and want to raid his place. He's only one man and his wives don't seem battle trained after all.

Which leads us to the question of why, once Ghost fell on a trap laid by Craster that the mutineers probably didn't even know existed, they decided to *not* kill him and make him a nice cover. It's because Rast hates Ghost, going back to that incident in Season 1, and Karl wants to fuck with Rast because he is a bully. So Karl makes Rast care for Ghost, even if it costs him food, because he finds it amusing.

[[WMG: Grey Worm and Missandei will have a very sweet romance on the side which will end in tragedy]]
They will dance around each other in a WillTheyOrWontThey manner since she's Dany's personal servant and he's a eunuch. [[ShipperOnDeck Dany and a few others will ship them]]. Then they'll spend one night together, just holding each other. And then [[spoiler: Grey Worm will take Stalwart Shield's place as the Unsullied who was murdered by the Sons of the Harpy]] and leave Missandei heartbroken.

[[WMG: Tyrion will die in the final episode.]]
After a great victory, a satisfying fate for all the most hated characters, and a Stark ruling the North with justice and honor, as in Season One, there will be a final betrayal (possibly orchestrated by a Bolton) and Tyrion, new Hand to the King\Queen will be killed. The final moment of the series will be Tyrion dying in someone's arms (Sansa?) and saying, "And now his watch is ended." That would of course be the only way to kill him off without everybody boycotting the series, and by ensuring that the ending is not entirely satisfying.

[[WMG: Bran Stark will end up on the Iron Throne, with Tyrion as his hand]]
Bran will find magic powers in the north, take several levels in Baddass, learn to walk again, and take the throne. Tyrion may end up eventually undoing Danerys when she succumbs to the Targaryen madness, or simply be around when she is defeated in her invasion of Westeros or her dragons turn on her. Tyrion has shown himself to be a capable Hand and got along well with Bran.)

[[WMG: The Starks and Danaerys will wind up in alliance together]]
* Ned, one of the principle instigators of the Baratheon rebellion, is no longer [[IncrediblyLamePun head]] of the Stark family, Robb and Catelyn want vengeance for Ned's execution, and the man who killed Dany's father in the first place, Jaime Lannister, is in Stark custody. The Starks, furthermore, have no interest in the Iron Throne, instead content to govern themselves and see to the problems in the North. It would be a mutually beneficial partnership: The Starks assist Danaerys, her legitimacy to the throne reinforced by the fact that she's truly of the Dragon's blood(immunity to fire) and one of the symbols of the Targaeryens' Mandate of Heaven(of sorts) was their dragons which Dany's returned to the world. The Starks, meanwhile, want to just be left alone in Winterfell(hell, they might not completely secede from Westeros if Joffrey's beheaded, the Lannisters wiped out, and a new king/queen is on the Throne that they're no longer at hostilities with) and they're only fighting to maintain their (newly found) independence.
** Well, the Greatjon ''did'' say that it was the dragons the Northerners bowed to...

The reality is the chemicals in the pool and the masks are antidotes to each other, but will cause harm if consumed separately. The poisoned masks prevent people from stealing them and using them for their own purposes. Nobody dares consider the fountain a cure for anything sinces its the go-to source for suicide.

George R R Martin has revealed his planned ending to Benioff and Weiss. And part of that is that Podrick Payne ends up married to Brienne of Tarth. The showrunners, realising that Brienne's many fans might not be satisfied with this, are laying the groundwork to ensure that the eventual reaction (many years from now) will be less "wait, Brienne has to settle for ''Pod''?" and more "aw yeah, Brienne's wedding night is gonna be ''epic''".

** Perhaps he recived a vision of the oncoming White Walker apocalypse and was driven to madness by trying to stop it.

[[WMG: Dany will learn to fight]]
Let's face it, after the shit in Meereen it's pretty clear she needs to learn how to defend herself effectively, especially if she still intends to take Westeros. My best guess here is that she'll either learn a Dothraki fighting style in honor of Khal Drogo or have one of the Unsullied teach her. The reasoning being that the knghts that she will be battling will be unfamiliar with those styles of combat

[[WMG: The Night's Watch will collapse]]
The Night's Watch will be yet again divided between the mutineers loyal to Ser Alliser and those who ultimately remained loyal to Jon (i.e. Edd). After a struggle that will most likely happen if Jon gets resurrected, Jon & company will be forced to desert/flee Castle Black and take refuge with the Wildlings while the mutineers take over Castle Black. Jon will shift his focus towards taking the North back from the Boltons, while the Night's Watch will end up becoming the first victims of the White Walkers south of the wall.

The Children created the first White Walker by pushing a dragonglass dagger into a man's chest, which is why White Walkers look like frozen dessicated corpses. The reason dragonglass weapons can kill them instantly is because they rob the White Walkers of what little body heat they still have, completely turning them into ice. Valyrian steel may have similar properties, which may also explain why it's so difficult to work it.

The reason he creates new White Walkers from newborns isn't because he can't do the same to adults. He ''can'', but it's too risky. He knows firsthand how badly [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turning someone who hates you into a powerful living weapon]] can end. By using newborns instead, he can raise his soldiers to be loyal to him and to him alone.

[[WMG: Daenerys will unite the Seven Kingdoms, but will ''not'' sit the Iron Throne at the end.]]
She believes her purpose is to rule as queen; in reality, though, it is more likely that she is simply meant to serve as a uniting force for a lot of different armies and cultures from both Essos and Westeros for the battle against the White Walkers. In the end, she'll die during that battle, probably scrificially, leaving Westeros with no one clear ruler, but a chance to move forward after the events of the last several years. (There's also a chance the Seven Kingdoms become seven actual Kingdoms again as it was before Aegon's Landing, with all Targaryens gone [[spoiler:depending on what theories you subscribe to, this could mean the end for Jon Snow as well.]]

[[WMG: Euron Greyjoy will ally with Cersei]]
Since his plans to ally himself with Daenerys are down the drain thanks to Yara and Theon beating him to it, he will instead ally himself with Cersei, pledging the Iron Born fleet to her service. What will most likely happen next season will see the combined forces of the Greyjoy-Lannister fleet against the Targaryen fleet, which will end in a Pyrrhic victory to either or both sides.
Also, Euron will likely be seen with the Dragon Horn, and will likely (temporarily) take control of Dany's dragons.
* It wouldn't be terribly outlandish to see Euron's story arc [[CompositeCharacter combined]] with a couple of book characters:
** Aurane Waters, a similarly ruthless pirate that was at one point in Cersei's employ in the books as Master of Ships; and
** Quentyn Martell, Doran's elder son who was sent to attempt to arrange a marriage pact with Daenerys and, after that failed, attempted to take control of her dragons. [[spoiler: It didn't end well for him.]]

** Or she made it herself. Her blind training involved mixing some kind of potion (which could have very well been poison).

Thus why Jon and Sansa didn't turn to them in the show, and explaining why Ned's Dornish party was short a man. If they ever existed, they died out years ago.

[[WMG: Littlefinger's intended last words]]
Which, FYI, is "...Sansa...I..."
* Sansa, I'm your father.
* Sansa, I'm sorry.
* Sansa, I hate you.
* Sansa, I love you.

Ramsay claimed that [[spoiler: he flayed all the Ironborn alive]] at Winterfel, but Dagmer might have been too smart for that. Book!Dagmer wouldn't have betrayed the Greyjoys in the first place, so maybe, after [[spoiler: handing Theon over to Ramsay]] in order to save his own ass, he joined Yara and her men in an effort to redeem himself.

Daenerys wins. However, she has Sam and Bran silenced so that the news of Jon's heritage does not get out. Jon is tossed in a dungeon somewhere to keep him out of the way, and Sansa can rule WInterell however she wishes as Warden of the North.

[[WMG: The White Walkers will bypass the wall.]]
* They will cause the water on either the Bay of Seals or the Bay of ice to freeze, allowing them and their forces to walk around it.They might also be able to use Gorne's way or the Bridge of Skulls.
** Jossed [[spoiler: They melt it with an ice dragon.]]

[[WMG: At least one of the villains will escape justice.]]
Joffrey, Cersei, Ilim Payne, Tywin, The Mountain, [[spoiler: Roose]] as of the third series, Frey, Ramsay... there are so, so many. Considering how many good characters die, it makes sense that some of these villains will never get the nasty fates they deserve.
* ''Mostly'' Jossed. [[spoiler: Of the list given above, only Cersei made it alive and relatively well into Season 7, and her chances to hold the line against Dany's dragons for a long time, particularly in the wake of coming winter, are slim at best. Although the Mountain also got there alive... sorta. And ''maybe'' [[PutOnABus Illyn Payne]].]]

[[WMG: Walder Frey [[spoiler:will become a CompositeCharacter of Emmon Frey and Devan Lannister.]]]]
When/If they show the [[spoiler:Siege of Riverrun]] subplot from AFFC, [[spoiler:Walder Frey will make an appearance at the Lannister/Frey camps close to Riverrun, where he has been appointed its newly made lord and arranged to marry a Lannister girl.]] This would solve the issue of introducing characters whose back stories haven't been previously established, particularly [[spoiler:Emmon Frey, whose marriage to Tywin's sister would confuse TV audiences into thinking: [[PlotHole "Wait, if the Lannisters were already married into House Frey, why weren't the Freys on the Lannisters' side in the first place?"]]]]
** Jossed.

[[WMG: Jon's arc in Season 7 will be a WholePlotReference to the European Refugee Crisis]]
Similar to Dany's arc in Mereen in Seasons 5 and 6 referencing the War on Terror, Jon's arc will focus on the difficulties of integrating the Wildlings into the North. The Wildlings in turn will be forced to choose between abandoning their own traditions to become "kneelers" or trying to retain their culture even though it conflicts with Northern laws and traditions.
* Jossed.

[[WMG:Benjen can raise wights.]]
He had the same magical ritual performed on him by the Children of The Forest that they did to make the first White Walker, and the wall is a barrier to him too because he's technically dead. It's not too much of a stretch to say that he has [[BadPowersGoodPeople same power set]] as the Walkers.
* Jossed.

[[WMG: Daenerys is a DecoyProtagonist]]
She's something of a BoringInvincibleHero to some, so how's the Khaleesi being uninterested in an alliance with the Starks and not believing in the long night for a twist?
* [[spoiler:Jossed; she [[SkepticNoLonger did believe]] in the end.]]

[[WMG: Arya will kill Jaime]]

The way she looks at him at Walder Frey's place... and she doesn't know that he has changed, so she will kill him and he'll die in Brienne's arms. He has told her once that he wants to die in the arms of the woman he loves, and he can't love Cersei anymore after she has done exactly the thing he killed the mad king for...
** Jossed.

[[WMG: Sam will use Heartsbane to forge a Valyrian Link]]
No Maester has earned it in a long time, and would it not be fitting for Sam, who wanted to be a wizard, to master the higher mysteries? Of course, with no Valyrian steel being easily available, he needs a source... and what better way to stick it to his father than to use part of the symbol of his father's worldview to make a symbol of Sam's and everything his father hates?
* As cool as that moment would be, I don't think Sam would do that. I would be surprised if he doesn't know/won't find out very quickly that Valyrian steel can kill White Walkers, and a sword would be better for that purpose than a chain link.
* Likely jossed, as he left the citadel due to their inaction.

[[WMG: Sandor will be Littlefinger's Spanner in the Works]]
* The Brotherhood without banner is on the way North, where they're likely to come across the Stark girls who Sandor has a soft spot for. He'll out Littlefinger for his role in Ned's death. His word alone probably won't be enough for Jon to execute him right away, but it'll spell his end.

[[WMG: Lord Tarth will help install Gendry as Lord of the Stormlands]]
* Brienne's father seems to command a great deal of respect, and would likely help back Gendry on Brienne's recommendation.

[[WMG:Sansa and Jon pulling the Night's Watch with them to retake Winterfell will not end well]]
How numerous are the Watch at Castle Black? I get that they're probably leaving the other two fortresses of the Wall still fully manned (at least as manned as TheRemnant can be) and at least [[TemptingFate a skeleton crew]] at Castle Black, but doesn't this leave a [[NiceJobBreakingItHero giant weakness]] for the White Walkers to exploit? [[ThisIsGonnaSuck And they probably will ...]] unless Sansa, Jon and Co. can [[GambitRoulette rather improbably]] take down Ramsay Bolton [[AnticlimaxBoss in short order]], and then immediately turn around with their surviving forces and reinforce the Wall before the Walkers can make it through.
* Jon will not bring the Watch to Winterfell. The Watch stay neutral in all political conflict. He specifically asked Tormund for men, not Edd.
** After the raid on Crasters, the battle of Castle Black, Hardhome, several executed for mutiny or disobeying orders, and a couple during the wilding rescue of the loyalists, their down to 30-so black brothers, who wouldn't be worth marching on Winterfell, and unlikely to hold the wall if they stayed.
* Jossed. Sansa and Jon already retook Winterfell without any help from the Night's Watch. If you noticed, Jon and Sansa left Castle Black with Davos, Melisandre, Tormund and the Wildings not with the Night's Watch. Also Jon already asked help from Tormund and the Northern houses and Sansa brought in the Vale reinforcement during the Battle of the Bastards. The only thing that they need to worry about are the While Walkers and in Sansa's case, Littlefinger.

[[WMG: Jaime will still be on Cersei's side but he will experience an existential crisis]]
For some reason regardless of what had happened in the Season 6 finale, Jaime will remain on Cersei's side and will continue to help her conquer the Reach and Dorne and defend her rule from Dany. However, Jaime will start to question himself if any of this is worth it and this is his raison d'être which is to be on Cersei's side until they die. And if he and Cersei finally defeated the Reach and Dorne while fighting against the returning Targaryen forces, he will experience that VengeanceFeelsEmpty. When he and Tyrion finally meet again, Tyrion will be disappointed on how low his brother had fallen which will be a BrokenPedestal for him and then, he will say the same thing that he said to him in the books, "Cersei's a lying whore. She's fucking Lancel..." Afterwards, Jaime will realize who Cersei really is. When they found out that the White Walker threat is indeed true, Cersei will not help out and decide to let the White Walkers deal with her enemies. This will cause Jaime [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere to dump her]] (probably give her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech) and take his forces to help Jon which will take place in Season 7 finale.

[[WMG: Season 7 will end with Theon Greyjoy on the Iron Throne.]]
* How? Simple: Uncle Euron gets himself married to Cersei, then kills her off to become King. Theon gets over his PTSD in time and sneaks into King's Landing to free Yara, but ends up facing Euron in single combat. He wins, and by Ironborn law, that means he takes Euron's place. So begins the reign of Theon the Lame.
* Jossed.

[[WMG:Sam will find himself in an unlikely position of command and will end up turning the tide of the "War of Two Queens".]]
For anyone that's been keeping track, [[spoiler: Randyll Tarly was awarded Lord Paramountship of the Reach for turning on the Tyrells and helping Jaime take Highgarden. He had named Dickon his heir. Then the [[DeadlyEuphemism Tarly family barbecue happened.]] The only male ''not'' invited was Sam - which means, by hereditary rule, he could well be not just Lord of Horn Hill, but Warden of the South.]] He could well choose to [[spoiler: realign The Reach with the alliance of Jon and Daenerys]] - particularly if[=/=]when he finds out that Jon has been named King in the North.
* Jossed.

[[WMG: Danerys Targaryen and Jon Snow will join forces.]]
It would make sense "a song of Fire (Targaryens) and Ice (Starks)." Danerys will have her dragons, and Jon will have an army of wildlings and others. Between the two of them they will take the Iron Throne. They both seem to be the "main" characters. They might rule together or Jon will bow to her and let her be queen. (Starks only bowed to dragons).
* [[spoiler:Confirmed.]]

[[WMG: The White Walkers are symbolism for global warming]]
* A major, weather-related threat to the World knocking at its door that its leaders are largely ignoring so they can focus on petty political squabbles instead, some of them even claiming it's only a legend despite all the evidence to the contrary, dismissing the people warning them about it and only acting in a very superficial manner by putting a vestigial group of people in charge of fixing it, without actually giving them the means to do so. Of course, in the case of Game of Thrones, it's more like Global Freezing/Zombification, but you get the idea.
** Confirmed to a point. WordOfGod said that it didn't occur to him at the time but he does accept that it has {{Applicability}} to it now.

[[WMG: Jaime will be given Widow's Wail in Season 7.]]
* [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What the hell happened to that sword after Joffrey died, anyway?]] And he can't ''not'' have this sword on him for the inevitable confrontation with Brienne[=/=]Oathkeeper.
* Confirmed.

[[WMG: Cersei will lose, but it'll cost Dany]]
She's going to loose one dragon before she gets further north.
* Confirmed. Euron's forces kill Rhaegal in an ambush.

** [[spoiler:Pending; Euron, visibly frightened by the live demonstration of a wight, declared neutrality and fleeing to the Iron Islands. But later we learn it was an act. And there's still a whole (if shortened) season to see...]]

[[WMG: Euron will defeat Yara and kill one of the Sand Snakes]]
There are set photos of Euron, parading Yara, Ellaria and Tyene in King's Landing as his prize which means he managed to overwhelm Yara's and the Dornish fleets. And since Jessica Henwick who played Nymeria Sand is shooting for ''Series/{{The Defenders|2017}}'' which is in the same production time as Season 7, it's possible that Euron or maybe one of his men will kill Nymeria. It's also likely that he made a deal with Cersei which might explain capturing Ellaria and Tyene so Cersei can punish them (either she [[ForcedToWatch forced Ellaria to watch]] her daughter [[LaserGuidedKarma dying of poison]] or hand them over to Frankenmountain). His capture on Yara might be similar to the books where he intends to marry her or make her his slave.
* Except for Euron's intentions for Yara, everything else is super-confirmed. [[spoiler: As part of his deal with Cersei, Euron actually kills Nymeria ''and'' Obara, and delivers Ellaria and Tyene to Cersei, where Cersei is poisoned by Tyene and Ellaria chained up inches away to watch her die.]]

[[WMG: Daenerys is actually just as mad as her brother.]]
* We know that the Targaryen family has a reputation for insanity to the point the denizens of Westeros themselves have a bleak joke about the gods flipping a coin at the birth of every Targaryen to see if it'll be insane. But, beyond that, Daenerys has undergone a ''lot'' of traumatic stuff during the show -- her brother's hinted history of abuse to her, being sold to a horse-riding barbarian who essentially raped her until she was taught how to take control of the sex by a prostitute, made to watch her own brother be murdered in a particularly hideous way for threatening her life and insulting her husband, losing her husband because he tried to enact social changes for her, which itself involved unwittingly turning him into a "breathing corpse" because she foolishly trusted the medical advice of a woman he enslaved, and miscarrying her son, whom she is informed was born a hideous mutant already writhing with maggots. And that's just the first season! It may not boil to the surface as blatantly as her brother's did, but it would really explain a lot of Daenerys' actions in the series if one assumes that either she's always been as crazy as her brother, or the events of the series have caused her frail-by-inheritance mind to snap under the strain. This would also mirror her father and brother who - at least in the books' backstory - were both relatively sane men and, in Aerys's case, a steady ruler, until trauma in their lives caused them to snap. [[labelnote:In the books...]]Daenerys had said of her brother Viserys that the last bit of kindness left him when, while on the run (presumably from Robert Baratheon's men) he was forced to pawn off a keepsake of their mother's in order to get food for herself and Daenerys. As for Aerys, he was a competent and progressive ruler in the first several years of his reign up until a dispute over taxes with a bannerman resulted in said vassal betraying him and holding him in prison for half a year. When he emerged, the first signs of the 'Mad King' Westeros would come to know began to show themselves.[[/labelnote]]

[[WMG: Gendry could be legitimized]]
On the recommendation of Davos who could vouch for him, reviving the Baratheon line. This all depends on whether or not he wants it of course.
* Confirmed in episode 4

[[folder:Character endings]]

[[WMG:Arya never ‘left’ the faceless men, is actually finishing her conversion to be an assassin in season 8]]

Some of the faceless men’s behavior seems odd, when they punish Arya for “killing the wrong target.” Why would they care if she killed more than one target?

It makes more sense that they dislike her reasons for doing so because she’s not impartial. She can’t become ‘no one’ if she specifically wants to kill them as ‘Arya.’ Instead of rejecting her, they’re actually just waiting for her to tie up her loose ends.

[[/folder]]

Furthermore, he will die in her arms and it will be a [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming crowning moment of heartwarming]] without there ever having been any romance between them.

Real-life obsidian is too brittle to be made into weapons as big as the dagger Jon used to dispatch the wight. It's not a CallARabbitASmerp situation; dragonglass is something else entirely, more durable and possibly magical in origin.

Let's think about it: Jon Connington has been AdaptedOut and his arc transferred to Jorah Mormont. Because of this is rather unlikely that we'll ever get to see Aegon in [=GoT=].

** Aegon, Rhaegar's son with Ellia, had been born before Rhaegar died, and Rhaegar explicitly named the boy himself - in fact it's strongly suggested that the toll Aegon's birth had on Ellia - she was frail and unlikely to survive a third birth - is what prompted Rhaegar to look for another babymomma to fulfill his "The dragon has three heads" prophecy. However, Rhaegar was very much dead by the time Jon was born. Given that Rhaegar would have had to rally the Dornish forces, march up to King's Landing, rally the Royal Host, and march to the Trident where he died, and that Ned then had to march an army down to King's Landing, where he apparently waited for Robert to show back up, then march an army to Storm's End to relieve Stannis, and only then set out to the Tower of Joy where he happened to arrive the day Lyanna gave birth, Rhaegar died several months before Jon's birth. While it's hardly uncommon for couples to pick out names for their kids that far in advance, it's a debatable point as to whether or not that's the kid's 'true' name until it's born to be given the name. In any event, if Rhaegar and/or Lyanna did pick out a different name, Lyanna apparently chose not to pass it on to Ned, either because she knew it would be a tip off to his true parentage, or because she was a very unwilling participant in the whole thing and didn't want to honor her rapist's wishes for the name of her son. As it stands, WordOfGod is that Ned named Jon, almost certainly after Jon Aryn.
*** What I was suggesting there is that Jon isn't indeed his true name, but the one chosen by Ned to cover the more "Targaryenish" one Lyanna gave to him.

*** Attempts at lip-reading from the Reveal episode are giving increasing support for the name Jaehaerys, which was the name of two Targaryen kings (one of them being Aerys' father) as well as a son of Aerys[=/=]younger brother of Rhaegar that died in infancy.
*** This troper studies linguistics and is fairly certain that the name begins with a vowel, which is immediately followed by a non-bilabial consonant. This would rule out two of the most popular suggestions, Jaehaerys and Aemon. Note that Jaehaerys also begins with the very prominent post-alveolar affricate d͡ʒ, which is, however, not visible in her lip movements.

[[WMG: Arya will kill [[spoiler: Littlefinger, using her mother's face.]]]]

* Half-confirmed, half-jossed. She did kill Littlefinger but she didn't wear her mother's face while doing it.

[[WMG: Arya will get her revenge on one of the oldest names on her list, and will kill Cersei wearing Tyrion's face.]]
* In something of a no man of woman born situation Cersei will die believing that Tyrion, the valonqar was responsible for her death... and then the mask will come off revealing Arya, having realized that the aforementioned dead Tyrion's face afforded her a chance to get to the queen, has crossed perhaps the biggest name off her list.
** And it would still be a valonquar who's responsible.

[[WMG: How Cleganebowl might happen]]
* Gregor will end up North, sent by Cersei to kill Jon Snow, or accompanying Cersei after she flees King's Landing, and he'll be close enough, and dead enough, for the Night King to be able to influence him. After cutting through many, Sandor, who will have joined the Night Watch or otherwise being allied with the Starks, will step up to be the one to stop him.

[[WMG: House Dayne will be the new rulers of Dorne]]
Because House Martell is legitimately extinct, Dorne is in a power vacuum which would lead to several Houses fighting on who rules the region. Of course, House Yronwood who is the strongest and most powerful Dornish house and are the rivals of Martells since the beginning, was supposed to take over but they never appear or were mentioned in the show. House Uller, where Ellaria Sand's birth father is from, could be a likely candidate too but they also never appear in the show. So, the most likely replacement would be House Dayne. Out from the Dornish houses except the Martells, the Daynes had their own Histories and Lore video which was narrated by the young Ned Stark and Arthur Dayne, made an appearance in the show except of course he died a long time ago. G.R.R.M. planned to give a bigger role for the Daynes (particularly Edric Dayne) but it didn't went through ever since he made some rewrites on ''A Feast of Crows'' and ''A Dance With Dragons''. There's also some suspicion on why Ned is the only narrating the Daynes' Lore video which could mean that they may have a role in the future and could have a connection to the Starks.

[[WMG: Varys is actually betraying Daenerys.]]
* There are numerous reasons to point to this theory:
** 1. Cersei and Euron seem to know exactly when and where Danerys' forces will be, from Euron being able to intercept and ambush Yara and Theon's fleet, to the Lannisters pulling a feint on the Unsullied at Casterly Rock with Euron ambushing the Unsullied fleet at the same time. The timing on these ambushes is just too convenient.
** 2. Daenerys and Tyrion had absolutely no idea Jon Snow was King of the North, and only found out about it when Melisandre informed them. There's no way they could have been that out of the loop with Westeros' greatest spymaster on their side unless Varys was deliberately hiding the information from them, since if he is a traitor, he wouldn't want Daenerys gaining more potential allies.
** 3. Varys is the only person in Daenerys' court that doesn't have a personal stake in the conflict. Tyrion was chased out of Westeros due to false charges made against him by Cersei and Tywin. Ellaria and Olenna both want revenge for the death of their loved ones. Grey Worm and Missandei both owe their lives and freedom to Daenerys. Meanwhile Varys is only one working for Daenerys without obvious motives, meaning there's nothing motivating him to stay loyal to her.
** 4. There is quite a bit of foreshadowing in the early season 7 episodes. Olenna warns Daenerys not to listen to "clever men" like Varys, and Melisandre predicts that Varys is fated to die in Westeros. Other than old age, the most likely reason for Varys getting killed is his treachery being found out, of which Daenerys promised she would burn him alive.
** 5. Finally, why would Varys want to betray Daenerys? Because he knows that she cannot be easily manipulated like Robert Baratheon or Tommen. He most likely wants to prolong the war long enough until he can find a more suitable claimant to back.

[[WMG: Cersei won't survive another nine months]]
Episode 5 of Season 7 reveals that the Mad Queen is pregnant again. Her prophecy stated that she would have three children: Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen. A fourth child would invalidate the prophecy, so it cannot happen.

Incidentally, this marks the second time that a declaration of a queen's pregnancy will lead directly to death, as happened to Queen Talisa Stark.

[[WMG: The Golden Company will appear in a later episode, and its leader will be none other than [[spoiler: Daario Naharis.]]]]
* Unless there's some behind-the-scenes business that prevents it, it would make the most sense just to bring back his character as someone everyone will recognize as opposed to introducing someone completely new at this late juncture. On top of that, [[spoiler: It will add an extra element of tragedy for Daenerys should his mercenaries clash with her forces at any point. Alternatively, Daario can play the part of the 'man scorned' and have extra motivation to go after Daenerys because he was left behind.]]

[[WMG:Cersei is lying about her pregnancy.]]
We've seen in Season 7 that Cersei has been putting the lessons she learned from Tywin into use, such as manipulating others into doing what she wants. It is highly likely that Cersei is only lying about her pregnancy and telling Jaime that the child is his in order to secure his loyalty.
* Jossed. She's indeed pregnant as she didn't drink her wine
** Not necessarily jossed. In that same episode, it's revealed that Cersei was lying to Daenerys and Jon the entire time. It could have all been an act to fool Tyrion into thinking she had a reason to agree to the truce.

[[WMG:Cersei will die at the hands of the valonqar-[[spoiler: her fourth child, a daughter- with Jaime.]]]]
The valonqar didn't refer to Cersei's younger sibling,[[spoiler: but to the last younger sibling of the Jaime/Cersei relationship. Just like Joanna Lannister before her, Cersei will die in childbirth- a baby girl Lannister who will eventually grow up to be more beautiful than her and become queen.]] Given how much GRRM loves to twist prophecies, it would be fitting that Cersei spends her whole life terrified of Tyrion for no good reason
* [[spoiler: But the same prophesy also says she will have 3 children, suggesting she won't survive to have the 4th, though I suppose if you die giving birth you technically didn't have that last child...]]
** Mashable had a similar theory, except [[spoiler:they speculated she'd have a son, and it'd be a dwarf like Tyrion, just to twist the knife. It'd be appropriate for her to die just like her mother.]]

[[WMG: No one of import will learn of Jon's true heritage]]
* Though it is all but confirmed that Jon is not only the child of [[spoiler: Rhaegar and Lyanna]] but is also the legitimate [[spoiler: heir to the Iron Throne]] the showrunners recognize that Jon's real identity is that of a true Northerner and a Stark at heart. Though it would be a cool bit of fanservice for him to learn the truth, I see Bran realizing that revealing such information is not terribly important. There is also the fact that realistically there are only two witnesses for the reality of his heritage; Bran, who "has visions" and Sam, who discovered an exceedingly obscure document like a proverbial needle in a million haystacks. The validity of any such claim would be dubious at best. Given that there's likely to still be some resistance to a power like Bran's in the larger continent and the fact that we've scene documentation doesn't necessarily translate to decree (Cersei ripping parchment and all) not to mention that Jon and Dany [[spoiler: have done the deed]] and what that would do to their relationship and her claim, and that it just seems a little too tidy for Martin's world, it is highly unlikely that greater Westeros and its power brokers will learn of the last Targaryen scion.
[[WMG: Arya, though she will struggle with deep guilt for it forever, will kill Sansa]]
* Sansa is so thoroughly alienated from her family right now, almost without Littlefinger's interference that she makes a decision that, in Arya's somewhat radicalized mind, is irredeemable and irrevocable to the point that she kills her wearing the guise of a Faceless Man. Considering she just made a big show of never betraying her family as she perceives Sansa to have done, this would be a nice bit of irony as the sister war comes to a shocking close.
[[WMG: Tyrion will die by series' end.]]
* Because it's Game of Thrones, but also because it would facilitate a subversion of a particular fan expectation, the exact type of thing Martin likes to do. That expectation is that Jamie will kill Cersei, which brings me to...

[[WMG: Daenarys is Azor Ahai/ The Prince(ss) that was Promised]]
* We know that Jon is a son(g) of ice and fire unto himself in addition to the Ice in the alliance between himself and Dany. This likely is true of the Unburnt herself; the Fire and Azor/The Prince. The fact that she is, in actuality a princess, not yet a queen helps. I say "yet" because as I think we all rather foolishly assume, she will likely take the throne from Cersei leading into...
[[WMG: Daenarys Targaryen will die in the war with the White Walkers after she takes the throne]]
* After Jon and Dany take the Seven Kingdoms, Cersei dead by "Tyrion's" hand, the alliance will turn their attention to the army of the dead and like her preincarnation, will die likely, in another bit of irony, by dragon or wildfire. She will bequeath the recently won crown to Jon Snow with Jaime as his "hand", Snow will sit on the Iron Throne, as it did in the House of the Undying and, to serve as a foil to Joffrey and Tommen, no one will know that he is the legitimate king.

[[WMG: Jon's marrying Dany]]
Whether or not they learn about Jon's parentage is less important in this situation. The Iron Throne will take The North the same way as they took Dorne back in the day, through a marriage alliance. Jon and Dany obviously have feelings for each other, and a marriage alliance makes sense. For the society Dany wants to build, it makes sense as well. Jon, while having been raised as a highborn, has been elected to lead on at least two occasions.

[[WMG: Westeros will have at least two new lords by the end of the series (unless the characters die)]]
Those lords being Davos and Gendry, who have lived as commoners throughout a good portion of their lives, and understand what commoners go through. Davos is raised to the title of lord in the book, and I expect the same to happen in the show, maybe being given the empty Dreadfort as well. Gendry will be legitimized as a Baratheon and given Storm's End. I don't know who'll get the title of lord paramount, but I expect one of them to take that title. Gendry can be given the name, and every ruler Davos has served under has taken a liking to him and his advice.
[[WMG: The Night King is the third head of the dragon.]]
* If one takes the position that the proverbial dragon Rhaegar spoke of is not a straight hero or savior in the traditional sense, but rather a transformative power, a catalyst for great change, a fulcrum/divergent force then, [[spoiler: supported by his recent acquisition of one of the actual beasts]] this troper submits that Dany- fire, Jon- fire and ice, and The Night King- Ice is the three headed dragon- one come to destroy, one to vanquish the destroyer, and one to rule after the wars are done.

[[WMG: Bran is the Night King]]
* Ok, so this is a theory that's been going around recently that relies heavily on many tried and true [[TimeTravelTropes time travel tropes]]. It posits that as he gains further mastery of his abilities as the Three-Eyed Raven, Bran uses his, I guess you might call it astral time travel projection, to attempt to interfere in past events to stop the Night King and as such, becomes the being itself. It has three basic stages working backwards to the creation of the White Walkers and points to a number of events in the present timeline to bolster its claims.
** The theory goes that the first significant attempt by Bran to stop the Long Night is to project himself to the time of Aerys and attempt to convince him to "Burn them all" with his wildfire, the "them" being the walkers. But because of the fact that he is not corporeal in the Mad King's time, rather a disembodied voice in his head, he drives Aerys to paranoia and insanity and the belief that "them" is everyone in King's Landing. The idea that Bran can in some way interact with the past is hinted at, of course with Hodor, who may or may not have actually seen Bran in the past, and then in his vision of the Tower of Joy, [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane when he calls out to his young father and Ned turns as if he's heard something]]. There are excerpts in the books that suggest this more strongly. However, this is perhaps the weakest element of the theory as the White Walkers weren't on the verge of overrunning the capitol at the time and Bran has always known of the king as an omnicidal maniac he'd likely not attempt to reason with. There is however a variant on the theory that says the previous Three-Eyed Raven (unconfirmed in the show as a Targaryen bastard) may have attempted it and, realizing the error of his ways, counseled Bran against such a use of his power. Anyway after this Bran goes further back in time.
** Bran then tries to learn how the First Men defeated the White Walkers thousands of years ago, but fails or perhaps gets there after the war is already won, and only succeeds in helping to construct the Wall and Winterfell thus establishing himself as Bran the Builder. Some who subscribe to the theory also believe that, á la Inception, the longer he is in the more he uses his powers and inhabits some other space and time, that he gets stuck and as such, Bran takes on the roles of ALL the historical Brans of the North.
*** Finally Bran attempts to go to the source, the creation of the the Walkers by the Children. Whether he's found a way to become corporeal by that time or is using his projection in conjunction with his warging to control another's body is a toss-up but in any case he is captured by the Children, turned into a White Walker, and fashions himself as the Night King. The theory then goes on to say that because he is essentially in an AndIMustScream state that he wants to kill the Children of the Forest, whose magic created him and finally achieve peace, thus by bringing about the Long Night he will ensure his own death. Those who subscribe to this idea point to a shot of the man on the tree and that of Bran in the cave that mirror each other, Leaf's words- "We needed to defend ourselves...Against you" and the fact that the Night King personally killed the Three Eyed Raven, really Bran in revenge for not spelling out the horror that would befall him, as clues to their shared identity. Also aesthetically the Night King's face seems to become progressively more human as the show goes on even admittedly looking something like Bran's actor, and their attire and gait are quite similar.
* There are a few problems with such a theory. On a Doylist level, 1) It more or less says that Aerys II's insanity is not down to incest, not down to feudal absolutism, and that the Mad King, his retainers and enablers, are not personally responsible for their actions and crimes. It completely removes the human element from the story in favour of some magic device. 2) This story makes the Game of Thrones entirely about Bran and a time-travelling kid rather than a HyperlinkStory of LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters who are HeroOfAnotherStory. If the entire story is about some kid trapped in a time-travel loop then what does all the prophetic stuff about Jon Snow, and Daenerys, the "ice and fire" stuff mean, it doesn't make sense. 3) If the Night King "is" Bran, and if Bran is all the Brans who have ever existed, does this mean that Bran is also Brandon Stark, Ned's elder brother who defeated Littlefinger in a duel and got killed by Aerys II? That doesn't make sense. 4) The Night's King looking more human is surely down to the fact that they changed the actor between season 5 and season 6, no? And I don't see how the Night King looks like Bran, if you squint, it looks like Jon Snow or almost any dude with his head shaved and dolled with lots of makeup. That's on a Doylist level.
** On a Watsonian level. If Bran is truly the Night's King, then how is it that a sophisticated and gifted greenseer like the Three-Eyed Raven and the other Children of the Forest didn't detect it, and if they did, why didn't they, simply, let Bran die when he fell off the tower rather than open his third eye? All they had to do was kill Bran and that's it, the entire Night's King never comes into existence. On a character level, after what happened with Hodor, after what happened to the Three-Eyed Raven, why would Bran believe that time travel is the solution to his problems? The only reason Bran would have to go back into the past is if he believes that all hope is lost in the present, if Jon and Dany fail and everyone become wights. So again, the theory is just not believable.
*** Actually, if this theory is true, this is the more logical part of it. So far, everything seems to point to the fact that you can't really change the past (and thus the future), because if you did, the future in which you travelled to the past wouldn't happen. The biggest point in favor of this to me is the fact that the original 3ER had to know what was supposed to happen, so he took Bran in a vision to the point in time when Willys/Hodor had his vision-stroke. If 3ER didn't know he was supposed to die then and there, he wouldn't have taken Bran to this specific vision, no Hodor would be created and there would be no one to hold the door.

[[WMG: The prophet Lodos was right]]
On Episode 5 of season 7 an archmaester tries to ridicule Bran Stark's claims by mentioning the ironborn prophet Lodos who, in the midst of Aegon's conquest of Westeros, promised that the Drowned God would rise up and destroy Aegon the Conqueror. Euron claims he's the Drowned God himself, while Jon Snow's real name is also Aegon Targaryen. And in regards of Euron plan to hire the Golden Company to face the Targaryen-Stark alliance after the great war, it's quite possible a deadly clash would occur between an "Aegon" and the "Drowned God".

[[WMG: There's something we don't know about Elia.]]
There has to be a good reason Rhaegar spurned her and more or less disowned his children, but the question is ''what''. If I had to guess? She was plotting to commit treason, planned to murder people to clear the way for her son, or was accused of adultery.
* What kind of treason are you asking? On the second theory, as far as we (and the books) is concerned, her son was just a baby before the Mountain killed him and it is said that her health was not doing well when she gave birth to her daughter and she nearly died when she gave birth to her son. The third theory (committing adultery) is the most likely reason. The Mad King never liked Rhaenys because she "smell Dornish" and it's possible that Elia had an affair with Arthur Dayne.
** Ok, admittedly, I didn't think ''that'' far ahead, but I ''will'' point out that as the wife of a future king, adultery ''is'' treason, since she'd be trying to foist a bastard on the throne. I mean it got Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard executed in real life. (No comments on whether they were actually guilty or not, this isn't the place.)

[[WMG: Jon Snow will learn of his heritage but he will still consider Ned as his ''true'' father]]
I doubt Jon would be completely happy if he learns about who his parents are really are. He barely know about them personally and even if he knows the truth about it, he would be very critical about it. Definitely, he will angst about this revelation which could destroy his relationship with Dany. But he would slowly accept that, yes, he has Targaryen blood but he's a Stark too and Ned Stark is his one and only father because he raised him like what a loving father would do regardless of being labelled as Ned Stark's bastard.

[[WMG: Elia gave her consent to R+L]]
* Elia believed in the prophecy of the three-headed dragon and, knowing that she was in no physical condition to give Rhaegar another child, she, like Selyse Baratheon after her, gave her consent to the prince to have another heir to complete the triumvirate. Rhaegar, understanding the power in unions between the blood of Old Valyria(Targaryens) and the First Men(Starks) chose Lyanna as the best chance to ensure the fulfillment of prophecy. He may not have even really loved her, which brings us to...

[[WMG: The woman's name that Rhaegar spake as he died was...]]
* Elia

[[WMG: Wargs and greenseers are the only magic in the World of Ice and Fire]]
* The only magic that exists in at least Westeros is that of the three-eyed ravens, Jojen Reeds, and Orells of the world and every other magic is tangentially either related to or actively created by them. They are the Lord of Light, the Night King, the magicians, and any other manner of supernatural in the world. We understand that dragons and giants are flesh and blood creatures and, the show at least seems to suggest, rather unconvincingly, that the Faceless Men use only masks to pull off their disguises. As far as Pyat Pree and the House of the Undying, it's possible that more advanced greenseers/wargs are able to project illusory images into people's minds like Prof. X and saturate structures in them like the Shining.
[[WMG: Wigts are warged corpses]]
* If Brandon Stark or another warg is the Night King, then wigts are created by him warging into the bodies of the deceased, illustrated in that their eyes become identical to his piercing blue eyes, much in the same way that Hodor's eyes go milky and opaque as do Brian's when he inhabits him. The Night King's greater power coupled with the fact that the dead have no consciousness, allows him to control more individual bodies and over greater distances.

[[WMG: The White Walkers ''aren't'' trying to destroy humanity.]]
Sure they are killing a lot of people, but that's for the purpose of creating an army of the dead instead of just for the sake of it. The Night's King was made by the Children of the Forest to protect them by killing humanity, but he ended up killing them. Plus for the final antagonist of a series subverting fantasy tropes and GreyAndGreyMorality, him being a GenericDoomsdayVillain as it seems now seems to go against the spirit of the series.

Rather they're building an army to go after the Children of the Forest. They managed to off their kind beyond the Wall, but somewhere south in Westeros, maybe Essos and even other continents they still exist, albeit in hiding. For taking away his humanity, the Night's King wants to exterminate every last one of them. However his zombie army leads people to think he's an OmnicidalManiac instead of someone who wants revenge, which puts him in a worse light. The army is so huge either because the White Walkers are overestimating the threat the current Children of the Forest pose, or they ''aren't'' and are the only beings in Westeros who know they thrive. Leaf's group is simply the last surviving members of their kind beyond the wall, and it's been so long apart they've forgotten.

It's also possible that the White Walkers want to exterminate other non-human races because they see them as a threat, just like the Children of the Forest used to be to mankind.

[[WMG: Dany will believe Bran and Sam are telling the truth that Jon is Rheagar's trueborn son]]
* She won't at first claiming that Sam is just making up the high septon's journal to get back at her for killing his father and brother. This will be how he finds out and his reaction convinces her that he is telling the truth.

[[WMG: Cersei is suffering from a phantom pregnancy.]]
As a result of her growing insanity and paranoia, she's fooled herself into thinking she's pregnant. Think Mary Tudor, minus the relative sanity. Given how undocumented this would be in a medieval setting, no-one asides from maybe [[MadDoctor Qyburn]] knows of it. As for why, it's likely her desperate desire to forge a dynasty and have a child after her three were killed that makes her believe she's pregnant.

[[WMG: Jaime will cause Cersei's death, but he will not die with her.]]
When everything has completely fallen apart, Jaime will offer Cersei and himself a wine with a painless poison [[spoiler:like Olenna Tyrell]] [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled so she doesn't face the music and a grisly death]]. Given his feeling for Cersei, he'd feel more comfortable with assisted suicide than plunging his sword through her heart. Cersei will proceed to spill Jaime's cup while drinking her own, which can either be a KickTheDog moment to deny Jaime his desire to be TogetherInDeath with her, or a PetTheDog moment since [[HeelRealization she realizes she's a toxic influence on him]] and wants to free him from her in his last moments. Jaime's fate will be bittersweet as though he gets to live and start over, he will see his father, children and the women he loves all die and the Lannister house almost completely irreparable.

[[WMG: Jon and Dany's kid will sit on the Iron Throne, but neither will see it happen.]]
And it'll be a big example of HistoryRepeats. Jon Snow will end up dying in battle before his son is born, just like his biological father. Daenerys, like her biological mother and her child's paternal grandmother, will end up dying in childbirth. The kid will either be called Aegon or Jon after his father, or if they want to go for a MeaningfulName Aenys-after all like the first King Aenys the child would be the son of a Targaryen conqueror and an Aegon. As for Tyrion, he will raise the child [[HappilyAdopted like his own son]], becoming his closest ally...much like how his father Tywin and Dany's father Aerys [[WeUsedToBeFriends used to be the closest of friends]]. However this time Tyrion will be able to break the cycle and remain on good terms with the new king, all while ending the bitter hatred between Stark, Lannister and Targaryen. Of course it will be a BittersweetEnding as two of the main protagonists will die never knowing if their child will live long enough to be a king in his own right. Perhaps neither will the audience, though we could have a FlashForward instead of an elderly Tyrion being confronted by the King of Ice and Fire as he finally dies.

[[WMG: How Elia fits into R+L=J will be purposefully ambiguous.]]
In order to preserve the mystery around Rhaegar's character, it'll be made unclear how she felt about Rhaegar's love affair with Lyanna and why Rhaegar annulled her marriage. Evidence will be shown that suggests she was on-board and consented and that the annulment didn't illegitimatize her children, [[AdaptationalVillainy she was plotting some sort of treason]] or if her husband was a {{Jerkass}} who abandoned her like a hot potato. However there will be no concrete evidence, leading Jon and Dany to speculate in-universe what kind of people Rhaegar and Lyanna and how they should feel about this. Which will likely be an AudienceSurrogate for how people might feel about Rhaegar and Lyanna.
